1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic - UNECE Homepage

"Reversing lamp" means the lamp used to illuminate the road to the rear of
the vehicle and provide a warning signal to other road-users that the vehicle is
reversing or about to reverse;

"Direction-indicator lamp" means the lamp used to indicate to other road-
users that the driver intends to change direction to the right or to the left;

"Parking lamp" means the lamp used to indicate the presence of a parked
vehicle; it may replace the front and rear position lamps;

"Marker lamp" means the lamp positioned near the outer edge of the overall
width and as near as possible to the top of the vehicle for the purpose of clearly
indicating the overall width. This signal complements the position lamps for some
motor vehicles and trailers by drawing particular attention to their size;

"Hazard warning signal" means the signal given by the simultaneous
functioning of all the direction-indicator lamps;

"Side lamp" means the lamp installed on the side of the vehicle so as to
indicate its presence when viewed from the side;

"Special warning lamp" means the lamp intended to indicate either priority
vehicles or a vehicle or a group of vehicles whose presence on the road requires
other road-users to take special precautions, in particular, convoys of vehicles,
vehicles of exceptional size and road construction or maintenance vehicles or
equipment;

"Rear registration plate illuminating device" means the device ensuring the
illumination of the rear registration plate; it may be made up of several optical
elements;

"Daytime (running) lamp" means a lamp intended to improve the daytime
conspicuity and visibility of the front of a vehicle in running use;

"Reflex-reflector" means a device used to indicate the presence of a vehicle
by reflection of light emanating from a light source unconnected with that
vehicle;

"Illuminating surface" means the orthogonal projection, in a transverse
vertical plane, of the effective surface from which the light is emitted. For a
reflex-reflector, the effective surface is the visible surface of the reflex-
reflecting optical unit.

20. The colours of lights mentioned in this chapter should, as far as possible,
be in accordance with the definitions given in the appendix to this Annex.

21. With the exception of motor cycles, every motor vehicle capable of
exceeding 40 km (25 miles) per hour on level road shall be equipped in front with
an even number of white or selective-yellow driving lamps capable of adequately
illuminating the road at night in clear weather. The outer edges of the
illuminating surfaces of the driving lamps shall in no case be closer to the

- 51 -

extreme outer edge of the vehicle than the outer edges of the illuminating
surfaces of the passing lamps.

22. With the exception of motor cycles, every motor vehicle capable of
exceeding 10 km (6 miles) per hour on level road shall be equipped in front with
an even number of white or selective-yellow passing lamps capable of adequately
illuminating the road at night in clear weather. A motor vehicle shall be
equipped with a device such that no more than two passing lamps may be lit
simultaneously. Passing lamps shall be so adjusted as to comply with the
definition in paragraph 19 of this Annex.

23. Every motor vehicle other than a two-wheeled motor cycle without side-car
shall be equipped in front with two white front position lamps; however, selective
yellow shall be permitted for front position lamps incorporated in driving lamps
or passing lamps which emit a selective-yellow beam. These front position lamps,
when they are the only lamps switched on at the front of the vehicle, shall be
visible at night in clear weather without causing undue dazzle or inconvenience to
other road-users;

24. (a) Every motor vehicle other than a two-wheeled motor cycle without side-
car shall be equipped at the rear with an even number of red rear position lamps
visible at night in clear weather without causing undue dazzle or inconvenience to
other road-users;

(b) Every trailer shall be equipped at the rear with an even number of red
rear position lamps visible at night in clear weather without causing undue dazzle
or inconvenience to other road-users. It shall, however, be permissible for a
trailer whose overall width does not exceed 0.80 m to be equipped with only one
such lamp if the trailer is coupled to a two-wheeled motor cycle without side-car.

25. Every motor vehicle or trailer displaying a registration number at the rear
shall be equipped with a lighting device such that the number is legible at night
in clear weather.

26. The electrical connections on all motor vehicles (including motor cycles)
and on all combinations consisting of a motor vehicle and one or more trailers
shall be such that the driving lamps, passing lamps, front fog lamps and front
position lamps of the motor vehicle and the lighting device referred to in
paragraph 25 above cannot be switched on unless the rearmost rear position lamps
of the motor vehicle or combination of vehicles are switched on as well.

Rear fog lamps shall be able to be switched on only if the driving lamps,
the passing lamps or the front fog lamps are switched on.

However, this provision shall not apply to driving lamps or passing lamps
when they are used to give the luminous warning referred to in Article 32,
paragraph 3, of this Convention. In addition, the electrical connections shall be
such that the front position lamps of the motor vehicle are always switched on
when the passing lamps, driving lamps or fog lamps are on.

27. Every motor vehicle other than two-wheeled motor cycle without side-car
shall be equipped at the rear with at least two red reflex-reflectors of other

- 52 -

than triangular form. When illuminated by the driving, passing or fog lamps of
another vehicle, the reflex-reflectors shall be visible to the driver of that
vehicle at night in clear weather.

28. Every trailer shall be equipped at the rear with at least two red reflex-
reflectors. These reflex-reflectors shall have the shape of an equilateral
triangle with one vertex uppermost and one side horizontal. No signal lamp shall
be placed inside the triangle. These reflex-reflectors shall meet the
requirements for visibility laid down in paragraph 27 above. However, trailers
with an overall width not exceeding 0.80 m may be equipped with only one reflex-
reflector if they are coupled to a two-wheeled motor cycle without side-car.

29. Every trailer shall be equipped at the front with two white reflex-
reflectors of other than triangular form. These reflex-reflectors shall meet the
visibility requirements laid down in paragraph 27 above.

30. A trailer shall be equipped at the front with two white front position lamps
if its width exceeds 1.60 m. The front position lamps thus prescribed shall be
fitted as near as possible to the extreme outer edge of the trailer.

31. With the exception of two-wheeled motor cycles with or without side-car,
every motor vehicle capable of exceeding 25 km (15 miles) per hour on a level road
shall be equipped at the rear with at least two red stop lamps, the luminous
intensity of which is markedly higher than that of the rear position lamps. The
same provision shall apply to every trailer which is the last vehicle in a
combination of vehicles.

32. Subject to the possibility that exemption from all or some of these
obligations may be granted in respect of mopeds by Contracting Parties which, in
conformity with Article 54, paragraph 2, of the Convention, have declared that
they treat mopeds as motor cycles:

(a) Every two-wheeled motor cycle with or without side-car shall be
equipped with one or two passing lamps satisfying the conditions regarding colour
and visibility laid down in paragraph 22 above;

(b) Every two-wheeled motor cycle with or without side-car capable of
exceeding 40 km (25 miles) per hour on a level road shall be equipped, in addition
to the passing lamp, with at least one driving lamp satisfying the conditions
regarding colour and visibility laid down in paragraph 21 above. If such a motor
cycle has more than one driving lamp, these lamps shall be situated as close
together as possible.

33. Every two-wheeled motor cycle without side-car may be equipped at the front
with one or two front position (side) lamps satisfying the conditions regarding
colour and visibility laid down in paragraph 23 above. If such a motor cycle has
two front position (side) lamps, these lamps shall be situated as close together
as possible.

34. Every two-wheeled motor cycle without side-car shall be equipped at the rear
with one rear position side lamp satisfying the conditions regarding colour and
visibility laid down in paragraph 24 (a) above.

- 53 -

35. Every two-wheeled motor cycle without side-car shall be equipped at the rear
with a non-triangular reflex-reflector satisfying the conditions regarding colour
and visibility laid down in paragraph 27 above.

36. Subject to the possibility for Contracting Parties which, in conformity with
Article 54, paragraph 2, have declared that they treat mopeds as motor cycles, to
exempt two-wheeled mopeds with or without side-cars from this obligation, every
two-wheeled motor cycle with or without side-car shall be equipped with a stop
lamp conforming to the provisions of paragraph 31 above.

37. Without prejudice to the provisions concerning lamps and devices prescribed
for two-wheeled motor cycles without side-car, any side-car attached to a two-
wheeled motor cycle shall be equipped at the front with a front position (side)
lamp satisfying the conditions regarding colour and visibility laid down in
paragraph 23 above, and at the rear with a rear position (side) lamp satisfying
the conditions regarding colour and visibility laid down in paragraph 24 (a) above
and with a reflex-reflector satisfying the conditions regarding colour and
visibility laid down in paragraph 27 above. The electrical connections shall be
such that the front position (side) lamp and rear position (side) lamp of the
side-car are switched on at the same time as the rear position (side) lamp of the
motor cycle.

38. Motor vehicles with three wheels placed symmetrically in relation to the
vehicle's median longitudinal plane, which are treated as motor cycles pursuant to
Article 1, subparagraph (n), of the Convention, shall be equipped with the devices
prescribed in paragraphs 21, 22, 23, 24 (a), 27 and 31 above. However, on an
electric vehicle the width of which does not exceed 1.30 m and the speed of which
does not exceed 40 km (25 miles) per hour a single driving lamp and a single
passing lamp are sufficient.

39. Every motor vehicle, except a moped, and every trailer shall be equipped
with fixed direction-indicators with flashing amber lights, fitted on the vehicle
in even numbers and visible by day and by night to road-users affected by the
vehicle's movements.

40. If front fog lamps are fitted on a motor vehicle they shall emit white or
selective-yellow light, be two or, in the case of motor cycle, one in number and
be placed in such a way that no point on their illuminating surface is above the
highest point on the illuminating surface of the passing lamps.

41. No reversing lamp shall cause undue dazzle or inconvenience to other road-
users. If reversing lamps are fitted on a motor vehicle they shall emit white or
selective-yellow light. These lamps shall be lit only when the reverse gear is
engaged.

42. No lamps, other than direction-indicator lamps and special warning lamps,
shall emit a winking or flashing light. Side lamps may wink at the same time as
direction-indicator lamps.

42 bis. Special warning lamps shall emit a winking or flashing light. Colours of
these lights should conform to the provisions of Article 32, paragraph 14.

- 54 -

42 ter. Every motor vehicle except motor cycles and every trailer shall be so
equipped that they can emit a hazard warning signal.

42 quater. If rear fog lamps are fitted on a motor vehicle or a trailer they
shall be red.

of them and they shall emit white or amber light towards the front and red light
towards the rear.

42 septies. Every motor vehicle and trailer may be fitted with side lamps. If
such lamps are fitted they shall emit amber light.

43. For the purposes of the provisions of this Annex:

(a) Any combination of two or more lamps, whether identical or not, but
having the same function and the same colour of light, shall be deemed to be a
single lamp;

(b) A single illuminating surface in the shape of a band shall be deemed
to be two or an even number of lamps if it is placed symmetrically to the median
longitudinal plane of the vehicle. The illumination of such a surface shall be
provided by at least two light sources placed as close as possible to its ends.

44. Lamps on a given vehicle having the same function and facing in the same
direction, shall be of the same colour. Lamps and reflex-reflectors which are of
even number shall be placed symmetrically in relation to the vehicle's median
longitudinal plane, except on vehicles with an asymmetrical external shape. The
intensity of the lamps in each pair shall be substantially the same.

45. Lamps of different kinds, and, subject to the provisions of other paragraphs
of this Chapter, lamps and reflex-reflectors, may be grouped or incorporated in
the same device, provided that each of these lamps and reflectors complies with
